Let’s see how this activity works.

1.      Create a new solution or open an existing solution. Here we are going to
create a directory named “FTP1”.

2.      Drag and drop a “FTP” activity which acts as a scope for all the activities in
this feature.

a.      Double click on the activity.

b.      Enter the server name, username and password.

3.      Drag and drop a “Create Directory ” activity within the workflow.

a.      Double click on the activity.

b.      Provide a name for the directory to be created within strings. Here I
am giving the name “FTP1 ”.

c.      The name of the directory can also be entered directly in the
DirectoryName box by navigating to the property section.

4.      To see the success state of the activity, declare a variable in the result box of the
output section. This is in “Boolean” datatype. For example: “CD"

5.      Drag and drop a write log activity below the “Create directory” activity and enter
the above declared variable with the extension “.ToString”  to convert the result
from “Boolean” datatype to “String” datatype. For example, “CD.ToString”

6.      Execute the workflow.
